Tinker Bell was a professional dancer trained in ballet, tap and adagio dancing. Her first job in burlesque was as a chorus girl at the famous New York city club, Leon & Eddie’s. Tinker Bell stripping career really took off (pun intended) in Washington DC while she was performing at the Wayne Room in 1956. She quickly became a crowd favorite and shortly thereafter, she was touring the country. Tinker Bell is shown here modeling her costume for her Cleopatra act.
